MotoGP™26 Races Towards Release with Dynamic Rider Ratings and Expanded Career Mode

Milestone S.r.l. And MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group are set to release MotoGP™26 on April 29, 2026, for PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™2, Nintendo Switch™, ROG Xbox Ally, ROG Xbox Ally X, and PC via Steam, Microsoft and Epic Games Store. The latest installment in the official MotoGP™ videogame series promises a more authentic and immersive experience with the introduction of dynamic Rider Ratings, a rider-based handling system, and an expanded Career mode.

Dynamic Rider Ratings Reflect Real-World Performance

MotoGP™26 introduces a new system of Dynamic Rider Ratings, providing each rider with a rating card based on four key attributes: lap time, pace, head-to-head performance, and reliability. These ratings are dynamically updated based on real-world performances, influencing the competitive balance both within the game and throughout Career Mode. This feature aims to deliver a deeper sense of immersion by reflecting the current form of riders.

Enhanced Physics and Rider-Based Handling

Featuring all official riders and tracks from the 2026 MotoGP™, Moto2™, and Moto3™ seasons, MotoGP™26 refines its physics model with a rider-based handling system. This allows players to control the bike by managing the rider’s weight and movements, aiming for a more true-to-life riding sensation and faster reactions during high-speed action.

Expanded Career Mode with New Features

The Career mode in MotoGP™26 is centered around a fully 3D paddock, serving as the hub for the entire race weekend. New features include Thursday press conferences, where players can set short and long-term goals, and a personal manager to handle contract negotiations, arrange meetings, and guide crucial decisions in the Rider’s Market.

Race Off Mode Returns with New Content

The Race Off game mode returns, now expanded with a new location and the introduction of Production Bikes, a new 1000cc category joining Motard, Flat Track, and Minibikes. Race Off provides a more relaxed racing experience for training and performance improvement.

Arcade and Pro Experiences Cater to All Skill Levels

MotoGP™26 offers both Arcade and Pro experiences to cater to players of all skill levels. The revised Arcade experience provides simplified gameplay for newcomers, while the Pro experience aims to be the peak of simulation, offering realistic bike feeling and extensive customization options.

Cross-Play and Split-Screen for Multiplayer Action

With cross-play now enabling full 22-player grids, and split-screen support, MotoGP™26 offers breathtaking battles both online and offline. Players can also customize their look with advanced graphic editors and share their creations with the community.

*Cross-play is not available on Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch™ 2, and the grid is composed of 12 riders. Cross-sharing is also not available on Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch™ 2.
